Updated with video demo:
BMW has a new app to replace BMW Connected called My BMW. It isn't yet available for iOS in the US so I can't run it.
Does anyone have any details on this compared to Connected? Detailed review would be helpful. Especially surrounding the pain points of BMW Connected, like slowness to issue commands and etc.
